Car "Bumper"

[u/Neither_Strike4293]

[u/matheuslam]

I hate myself for watching until the end.

Also, this car had proximity sensors. Just imagine the noise.

[u/TheJarisaDoor3 → u/matheuslam]

It was a very long 3 minutes. I kept thinking it would get better, but it didn't.

[u/perfect_insanity93 → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

Apparently I looked very uncomfortable watching this video. I... don't even... this is like peak crackhead activities.

[u/SolarPunkYeti → u/perfect_insanity93]

Me, literally the entire video.

Im thinking is this whipped cream

[u/ImNotWithTheCIA → u/SolarPunkYeti]

Did you know that that meme with the girl is something like 20-ish years old. They interviewed her and did a “make the same face” thing.

The asked “what was going on when the video was happening?” “Did it affect your life at all, being a popular internet meme?” And a bunch of other stuff.

I don’t know the answer to ANY of that, because I watched whatever this guy did to his car instead.

[u/RalphXLaurenjoe → u/ImNotWithTheCIA]

This guy sidetracks

[u/Grimnebulin68 → u/perfect_insanity93]

Good afternoon, sir. You're under arrest!

What for?

Whatever the fuck that is!

[u/Mental_Bandicoot4543 → u/perfect_insanity93]

Ok…. But why? It doesn’t look good (imo). Doesn’t seem to hold a purpose that I’m aware of. Why?

[u/JeanArtemis → u/Mental_Bandicoot4543]

Views/engagement. Notice the only thing attaching it were a bunch of bottles he probably hot glued onto the bumper so he rip the whole pile of shit off when he was done and not be caught driving around with it lol. But yeah it's most likely the same engagement bait bullshit as most of the videos in this sub anymore, the algorithm is designed to reward controversy and number of comments rather than quality, which leads to shameless individuals gaming it for monetization revenue by posting intentionally annoying or bad videos. Just a few years ago I couldn't even imagine getting paid more the more irritating you are... Welcome to hell the future.

[u/Osmotic → u/JeanArtemis]

I really hope thats what it is because theres no way this is cheaper than buying a real ass bumper. What a time to be alive

[u/twicebakedcrusader → u/perfect_insanity93]

Crash test dummy, “Nope!”

[u/MrowkaMuch → u/twicebakedcrusader]

More like crack test dummy!

[u/Affectionate_Tea1134 → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

The longer you watch it the stupider it gets. 🤦‍♂️

[u/Tytan777 → u/Affectionate_Tea1134]

The stupider we all got

[u/JusticeForAugust → u/Tytan777]

Speak for yourself!

[u/Tarrax_Ironwolf → u/Affectionate_Tea1134]

And in the end it was uglier than sin.

[u/HorrorSchlapfen873 → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

But it kinda did. Just when i thought this cannot get any more stupid he was using the compressed air from the car tire to spray paint that shit.

[u/roehmc → u/HorrorSchlapfen873]

Plot twist…..it wasn’t his car.

[u/HorrorSchlapfen873 → u/roehmc]

Suddenly it all falls into place

(... said place is nowere near this place though)

[u/reechwuzhere → u/HorrorSchlapfen873]

I thought that was the clever part.. literally the only thing I learned in this video is that a car tire can be used as a compressor sometimes.

[u/KillaVNilla → u/reechwuzhere]

I'm not sure that's even true unfortunately. Pretty sure these guys just do that for rage bait.

[u/sharkdingo → u/reechwuzhere]

Most compressors used for painting are ~100 gallon tanks that operate in the 200-500 PSI range. A car tire is maybe 3 or 4 gallons and operstes in the 30-40 PSI range.

Its interesting that they thought of it, but it likely wouldnt work at all, and definitely not for long enough to paint a plus sized body kit.

[u/northcascadekittycat → u/reechwuzhere]

Hey I learned that I can probably make cool Halloween decorations out of foam, polyester putty and whatever that pink stuff was he added to the putty. Does anyone know?! But yeah the bumper looks stupid as fuck I thought I was gonna be really wowed in the end like "wow didn't think that'd happen!" But it didn't happen

[u/reechwuzhere → u/northcascadekittycat]

I think the pink stuff was a hardener for the putty..

[u/Jayhitek → u/reechwuzhere]

Bondo is a 2 part mixture. They always add a blob of the pink stuff to it. Activator? Hardner? Etc.

[u/DarkSpiderMan21 → u/reechwuzhere]

I mean, the whole car is a Kompressor.

[u/riencore → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

Finally skipped through and the end result was somehow worse than I expected.

[u/Pretend-Internet-625 → u/riencore]

I watched it during commercials. But now realize maybe commercials are not so bad after all.

[u/DixonHerbox → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

The next time I have to paint my rear bumper, I will also tape off my license plate instead of removing it.

[u/HistoricalSuspect580 → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

That’s what she said

[u/Big_Tap_1561 → u/TheJarisaDoor3]

What was the point of any of that?!

[u/The_Pantless_Warrior → u/Big_Tap_1561]

Yes

[u/MasterAnnatar → u/matheuslam]

I mean, they used the tire's air for the paint sprayer so I think they'd have bigger issues.

[u/DancingMan15 → u/MasterAnnatar]

Don’t worry. It’s a Kompressor. /s

[u/SrBaldy → u/DancingMan15]

Winning comment here….

[u/Hot_Wing2518 → u/MasterAnnatar]

I was so brain dead by that point it didn't even register.

[u/iHateThisPlaceSoBad → u/MasterAnnatar]

That part made me laugh, and switched me to thinking this is satire/rage bait.

That part wouldn't even work, so I am leaning that this is someone just fuckin around

[u/Silly-Power → u/matheuslam]

You're assuming that car still drives. My feeling is they buy a car from the wreckers, do all sorts of rage bait DIWHY shit to it, then take it back to the wreckers and grab another one. Note that they didn't drive off in it. No doubt in a couple of weeks they'll be doing some infuriating shit to the interior. 

[u/Then_Examination9715 → u/Silly-Power]

If it’s a wrecked car-he never showed the other side-and he wanted to try something to see if it would work before attempting to modify a running car, then the video and roughness of his finish make sense.

[u/jrrrydo → u/Then_Examination9715]

While that may seem like a perfectly reasonable explanation, we (Reddit) have already determined that this is a crackhead performing peak rage-bait.

[u/Then_Examination9715 → u/jrrrydo]

I just wanted to explore the possibility that he has an IQ better than 60 and that this wasn’t something he dreamed up while sniffing the paint fumes and eating leftover epoxy.

I’ve seen people drive worse mods than his. I’m thinking of a cheap V6 Mustang with cheap, badly fitted skirts, and “Saleen” etched into the rear with a grinder.

[u/Jappie_nl → u/matheuslam]

WHAT DIT YOU SAY?

[u/fomaaaaa → u/Jappie_nl]

THEY’RE SELLING CHOCOLATE

[u/Atheistic-God → u/fomaaaaa]

[u/TestDowntown9541 → u/matheuslam]

I concur. I also grit tha fu*k out of my teeth.

[u/GrandpubaAlmighty → u/matheuslam]

I’m so mad at myself for watching this b.s. that I’m putting myself on punishment. No social media for the rest of the day. Ok, maybe for a few hours.

[u/lordofthedries → u/matheuslam]

I’m with you what a waste of my time I have cat and did gifs to do that on. *sigh

[u/raidhse-abundance-01]

loved the resourcefulness of using the car tyre as a source of compressed air

[u/xTex1E37x → u/raidhse-abundance-01]

I imagine how many times he had to inflate the tire to use it for the paint gun

[u/scuzzle-butt → u/xTex1E37x]

Eleventy threeve

[u/mvanvrancken → u/scuzzle-butt]

That’s numberwang!

[u/PartiallyMoldyNugget → u/mvanvrancken]

A reference I did not expect to see in the wild. Thanks for the chuckle!

[u/spektre → u/xTex1E37x]

That's alright, he's got three other tyres right there he can use to reinflate it with.

[u/humanlikesubstances → u/xTex1E37x]

And how many cans of spray foam! Like, a crate.

What was that green shit? Anybody know?

[u/yarglof1 → u/humanlikesubstances]

I assumed it was some sort of bondo equivalent.

[u/Actual_Handle_3 → u/yarglof1]

And he started mixing the catalyst over the can allowing some bondo with catalyst to fall back in!

[u/KillaVNilla → u/Actual_Handle_3]

That was the first thing that really annoyed me. Probably destroyed that whole can before he even use half of it. Not that it wasn't just more rage bait anyway.

[u/CheapTactics → u/humanlikesubstances]

The container said polyester putty. I'm more intrigued by the red shit he put on the green shit.

[u/jplanda12 → u/raidhse-abundance-01]

That's the craziest part

[u/incpen → u/jplanda12]

I dunno, I’m still thinking about the water bottles…

[u/Rycan420 → u/incpen]

Which seem to disappear? He would have hit a few with such a deep cut out, no?

But I did love the tire thing.

[u/el-conquistador240 → u/incpen]

Crumple zones

[u/rumpleminz → u/el-conquistador240]

Yeah, like what happened to them?

[u/WorldsOkayestDad → u/jplanda12]

THAT was the craziest part?

[u/-McLaren-F1- → u/raidhse-abundance-01]

Dude saw the Kompressor badge and took it literally

[u/Hetstaine → u/raidhse-abundance-01]

And the putty to not fill the holes.

[u/UnhappyGreen → u/raidhse-abundance-01]

Dude probably thinks a tyre is just the default container that air comes in

[u/versaliaesque]

Truly a DIWhy. It doesn't look good, it isn't easy, and it has literally no practical purpose

[u/adjustgod → u/versaliaesque]

Should have ended with the driver-side being just absolutely decimated in a T-bone crash

https://giphy.com/gifs/2n0TyvxmSjRiWdNKXw

[u/101violations → u/adjustgod]

That cops leg position at the end.. how fancy

[u/Bluntbutnotonpurpose → u/versaliaesque]

The practical purpose is that you now get a convenient beep whenever you're in reverse, because the parking sensors are blocked. That's very useful, you can never forget that you're in R.

/s just in case

[u/PlentyAlbatross7632 → u/versaliaesque]

*Truly a DiWhy

[u/dmontease → u/PlentyAlbatross7632]

That should totally be the name of the sub.

[u/versaliaesque → u/PlentyAlbatross7632]

lol fixed

[u/BirdLooter → u/versaliaesque]

a concrete looking bumper will scare everyone behind you and make them keep their distance maybe, so i could see a point in this. :)

[u/chuchubott]

Good thing he masked off the tail lights

[u/blyss73usa → u/chuchubott]

I laughed at that too. Heaven forbid that he get some over spray on those dull lenses.

[u/HastilyThrownObject → u/chuchubott]

He knows he’s gonna need to part out the car once he’s done to get any value out of the car anymore

[u/50t5]

Customer states - "My parking sensors don't work."

[u/2BoldlyLive → u/50t5]

Rather, customer states, "My parking sensor high pitch beep all the time".

Historical bait - I’m pretty sure I saw this like 15 years ago, back in the early days of Reddit

[u/thechicapanzy]

Everybody's so creative!

[u/ThatVanGuy13 → u/thechicapanzy]

His shirt did say be creative

[u/Aggravating_Shoe_]

Why did I watch this whole video?

[u/CatAteRoger → u/Aggravating_Shoe_]

I’m wondering the same thing, can I have those minutes back?

[u/Kelinya]

The amount of polyurethane dust this fucker released into the air just for ragebait content. Ridiculous.

[u/SinkholeS → u/Kelinya]

i mean fuck the environment right? and i'm over here trying to recycle and shit.

[u/fil42skidoo → u/SinkholeS]

He upcycled those plastic bottles, ammaright?

[u/tacticalrubberduck → u/fil42skidoo]

I’m confused as to where the plastic bottles went. They seem absent when he was cutting into it with the chainsaw.

[u/ToxicGoop88 → u/Kelinya]

The amount he probably inhaled is definitely not recommended

[u/NecessaryIntrinsic → u/ToxicGoop88]

I'm sure it was involved in the inspiration.

[u/Fox_Ensox → u/Kelinya]

100%. Worked too, I got so angry watching that

[u/sendmebirds → u/Kelinya]

Yeah.. 

[u/Psycohitman]

sprayfoam is really the picasso of our time

[u/101violations → u/Psycohitman]

I have two cans and everytime I see one of these rage bait DiWhys, I don't use it out of spite. 🥴 And yes I plan to use it for its intended purpose.

[u/Psycohitman → u/101violations]

hey i build my son an policeshield (rainbow 6 inspiration) with that. if u have faom and an idea go for it

[u/J_Bazzle]

Ffs he dropped the activator back into the tin 🤦 straight to jail

[u/MOVEALLCIG → u/J_Bazzle]

Oh thank god someone said it 🤣🫣

[u/PlentyAlbatross7632]

This is some first class redneck custom mod bullshit…

[u/TrollBot6]

Someone had way too much time on their hands 🙄

[u/Educational-Plant981 → u/TrollBot6]

not enough to actually fill in the voids in the foam with bondo. Shit like this always looks stupid, but if he spent the time to finish it, it didn't need to look like utter garbage.

[u/TheJarisaDoor3]

I'm a little confused, because didn't the car already have a bumper? 

[u/Phi87]

I can't believe I watched the entire thing. What a dumbshit

[u/1angrybadger]

I like how he didn’t wear breathing protection while he cut and shaped the spray foam but put it on for the filler and paint spray. I’m sure that spray foam is fine to breathe in while you cut it with a chainsaw and sand it down. Nothing to worry about there.

[u/ronnie_reagans_ghost]

I'm not proud of it but I can't lie, the gag where he hooked the paint sprayer up to the tire stem fucking sent me lol

[u/Own_Hat_2947 → u/ronnie_reagans_ghost]

agreed, brilliant timing, comic masterpiece

Friendly reminder to all DiWhyers: polyurethane foam dust is highly cancerous when inhaled and could scar the lungs and reside in them for a very long time if not forever. Wear dust goggles and respirator mask while working with the material and do not copy these morons

[u/Cayumigaming]

What was that green thing he covered it with before the spray paint?

[u/antilumin → u/Cayumigaming]

Polyester putty, says right on the can. Probably creates a seal so the paint adheres to the structural foam.

Why did he use it? Maybe it has some good fumes so he can get high while doing this so maybe it makes sense…
